4.0 out of 5 stars Historical Resource, December 7, 2006

By	Mark Joerger (Salem, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's become difficult to get information about the history of combat robots. Many of the web resources available at the time the sport was 'hot' have faded away. This book is a valuable resource that features descriptions of the 'golden age' combat robots and interviews with their creators.

If you're interested in building your own robot, this is not the book for you. If you have an interest in the energy and enthusiasm of the sport during the period that it was a media darling, theis book provides an interesting perspective.

1.0 out of 5 stars All fluff no stuff, December 10, 2002

By A Customer

This book is nothing more than an index of combat robots seen on TV. No real Beta. Look elsewhere for usefull information.
